      VT-5 and type 15 light tank are not the same tank, it was popularly believed that VT-5 was the other competing design for the new light tank program that wasn’t adopted and hence was pushed to export mark instead.

      You clearly obtained some turret info from CCTV7, but you miss some details. The full version of that episode actually show that the turret is firstly made with a sloped base front armor. The triangle front is outer armor weld in front of the sloped base layer. They never mention if there is composite materials in the triangle space between the 2 layers of front armor, but there is some concept picture of composite armor structure in similar triangle space.

      So while your point about high and challenging environments is true, I believe it will be used more likely for stuff like Taiwan which is really the only conflict China will actually fight for. Can air drop them probably and fit more of them in air and sea transports.

    Ztq 15 is still good enough to be placed in such mountaneous terrain. Small, agile, and mobility is main priority in such a high steep terrain. Its for supporting role only, not a head-to-head with the MBT, BUT, it is good enough to support MBT role bacause its small & agile, so it can use hit-n-run tactics. Because of that, 105mm weapon is still reasonable
    Actually, i never though that term 'light' and 'medium' tank role will rise again just like in ww2.

      @@robertgittings8662 I think the concept of "Light tanks" has arose because modern MBTs are becoming increasingly heavier, as lots of armor is being applied on them to thwart modern anti-tank weapons. Tanks were never able to fight well against hostile forces alone, and its only become worse. The Sprut and Type 15 fill the role between the MBT and the IFV (able to handle some anti-tank systems, while possessing high mobility)
      Also, India can't hope to thrust their tank forces in Ladakh should a war erupt, as the land area is very adverse, they dont have a large ass fight-bomber fleet or a big arsenal of long-range precision weapons to achieve air supremacy and drop their tanks via air, and MBTs won't do very well in the oxygen-deprived air of the high altitude warfare.

    • @andrewsuryali8540
      @andrewsuryali8540 3 роки тому +7

      The VT-5 and the VN-17 share the same hull, engine, and suspension, and from interviews with the tank designer (which may or may not have been misinterpreted), the VN-17 was the base vehicle, not the VT-5. This means what the designers originally planned was to have both a new IFV and a light tank partner for it with high degree of commonality between them. So rather than call it a loser in a tank competition, it's more likely to have been a completely different concept that the PLA rejected because they didn't need yet another AFV family regardless of how much better the 34-ton VN-17 was compared to the Type-04 family.

No Chinese domestic tanks have side ERA, yet they are well aware of its benefits and produce it for their customers. I’ve seen pictures from inside Chinese transport ships and it does seem like it would be impossible to add era production for the hull without removing a 4th of the amount of tanks stored.

      Talking about the ignorant people, the UA-camr is russian. My personal opinion about russia is that Russia-india relations are only limited to profit now. The current russia is not the USSR. The current russia only looks profits, as their economy is badly hit by sanctions and the break up of USSR 30yrs back. Russia sees more profit in china than india, and thus has started to lean more towards china. Putin also talked about a military alliance with china, which is real bad news for India. India is also trying to make it's weapons (which is rather slow:( ). due to this our reliance on russian weapons in the future is bound to decrease. and india not having any commercial goods to offer to russia, while china having a lot of it, just pushes russia away from us.
      Plus due to the Border standoff in Ladakh initiated by china, India has automatically been pushed closer to US. another reason for this is that quality of Russian weapons is not good, and these weapons require a lot of maintanence, which eats up a lot of our defence budget. I say India should stop buying any weapons, and make our own as we have the capability to do so. we have our allies to help us in case china decided to invade us, which will be dealt with the same force as china will use against us :D.

The Chinese are currently working on an Armata-style next-gen MBT plattform with a two-man crew, unmanned turret and significant increases in sensor systems and their integration and automatization. Makes sense they'd use earlier projects like Type 15 to gather potentially useful experience for that.

For example, ZTZ-96 was deployed during the 1996 Taiwan Strait Crisis. ZTZ-99 was seen on PRC-DPRK border during the 1999 North Korean Missile Crisis. What these events have in common is the equipments that can provide deterrence are in play when they are needed. ZTQ-15, on the other hand, was deployed too late in 2020 and missed the peak of India-PRC border conflict. The PLA had to mobilise ZTZ-99 to kargilik county to deter Indian armoured division.
    In fact, since ZTQ-15 was late to the party, PLA has only so far equipped one 3 companies of ZTQ-15. I actually don't think the tank would be massed produced as China is working on gen 4 tanks now. Both ZTZ-99A and ZTQ-15 are going to lose its purpose in 5 to 10 years.

      With F-35 and other upgrades to amphibious ships, the USMC has never had more strike options than they do now. At the same time, in exercises US Army Stryker Brigade Combat Teams have displayed a high degree of anti-armor capability in a light strategic mobility force without proper MBTs.
      The look of the USMC, with the quantum leap in native strike capability with F-35 and more heavily armed amphibious ships, is that they are going to use the Amphibious Combat Vehicle program to move to a more lightly armored force similar to Stryker BCTs. This is generally in line with the shift in the Marine Corps to being more uniquely focused on amphibious operations and quick reaction, rather than being a second Army with an amphibious flavor.
      They are simply leaving heavy mechanized combat with MBTs and heavy IFVs to the Army, and returning to their roots.

      Aside from soviet tanks new and old (T-14) and possibly the Japanese type 10, what other modern mbt can be considered light?
      I've always assumed that making light weight mbt is just extremely expensive hence why Russians design the T-14 fundamentally different from other contemporaries unless they go the Japanese route and use exotic metal composition jacking the price up to infinity.

    The ZTQ-15 is more arguably a mmwt, like the Kaplan, imo.
    Also, a medium/lightweight tank doesn't really need to be able to shrug off apfsds, only heat/he projectiles, as it, realistically, isn't designed to go head to head with MBTs, but are better with going along routes that cannot support the weight of an MBT and engaging infantry or flanking maneuvers of mbts.
    Still is a nice piece of kit for what it is.

    Ok, time to point out your mistakes.
    1. ZTQ-15 and VT-5 are two completely different tanks developed by two different institutes. The majority of the footage shown, as well as the thumbnail, portray the VT-5, not the ZTQ-15.
    2. There are two versions of the ZTQ-15: a base version, also known as the parade version as it was seen during the national day parade, and an upgraded version. The base version does NOT have ERA as the additional armour mounted is applique armour. It also does not have CITV and instead has a commander's sight similar to the one found on the Type 88 MBT. The upgraded version does have ERA and CITV with a 2nd gen thermal imager. It also has an upgraded RWS that can mount a 35mm MGL and a heavy machine gun at the same time.
    3. China has 105mm APFSDS that can penetrate ~500mm. So technically, the ZTQ-15 has better firepower than the Indian T-90s with their mango ammunition.

      USMC doesn't want new tanks, they want integrated light armored combined arms forces like Stryker BCTs that can be more strategically mobile while still conducting high tempo anti-armor engagement using ATGMs and probably wheeled 105mm guns as well, in environments that MBTs can't operate well in. That's where the ACV program is aimed, at a common family of amphibious light armored vehicles.
      They also feel comfortable doing this now because F-35Bs, Mk 41 VLS on San Antonio-class amphibious assault ships, and upgraded ATACMS missiles have the USMC rolling in more organic fire support than they've ever had before. That quantum leap in strike capability over the older Harriers and lightly armed amphibious ships gives the USMC a lot of room to be a leaner and faster landing force.
